Introduction

Enlightenment is a project to provide 'advanced graphic libraries, tools and environments'.

The Enlightenment project is split into 3 parts:

Enlightenment DR16, The original release of the enlightenment window manager.

Enlightenment DR17, The new replacement window manager for DR16.

Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, An expansion for extra libraries not part of the other two sections.

Enlightenment DR16

Enlightenment, Development Release 16 was first released in 2000, and went 1.0 in 2009. It is still under development today, regularly updated by its maintainer Kim 'kwo' Woelders. With compositing, shadows and transparencies, E DR16 kept all of the speed but with up to date refinement.

To install E16

Simply run

# pacman -S enlightenment

E can be quite different from the other WM's out there, read /usr/share/doc/e16/e16.html to learn more
The man page is at 'man e16' , not 'man enlightenment', and only gives startup options.

(The name Enlightenment supposedly is reserved for the time the main project reach 1.0 - the current 16 and 17 are actually 0.16 and 0.17, as their DR names suggest.)

Basic Configuration

Most everything in E DR16 resides in ~/.e16 and is text-based, editable at will. Shortcut keys can be either modified by hand, from the ~/.e16/bindings.conf or with the e16keyedit software provided on the sourceforge page of the e16 project.

Background images

You have to copy the desired wallpapers into ~/.e16/backgrounds/

MMB or RMB anywhere on the desktop will give access to the settings, select /Desktop/Backgrounds/

Any new item copied there will get the list auto-updated.

Start/Restart/Stop Scripts

Create a Init , Start and Stop folders in your ~/.e16 folder: any .sh script found there will either be executed at Sartup (from Init folder), at each Restart (from Start folder), or at Shutdown (from Stop folder).

Compositor

Shadows, Transparent effects et all can be found in MMB or RMB /Settings, under Composite .
